    You know, it’s not always, but apple does sell things that are price-competitive with similarly performing competing products.

    Some iterations of the Mac Mini have been hard to beat with a tiny PC with similar performance.

    The M1 MacBooks had some surprisingly cheap options for the relatively premium laptops they were.

    Samsung’s Ultra phones tend to cost more or less the same as the Apple Pro Max phones.

    The main difference is sometimes just that Apple doesn’t make low-end or low-mid-range, or sometimes not even anything below “relatively high-end”, products in a particular category.

      Can confirm on the MacBook side. My girlfriend got a m series macbook and it’s better than anything in it’s price range. That device is so snappy while having a battery life that’s incomparable to anything with windows

      Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.
